During the Presidential Alert system test on October 3, 2018, the emergency monitoring industry saw an unprecedented influx of inbound signals from both security and PERS device users.

AXIS Guardian’s centralized device management allows providers to maintain and manage their clients’ systems remotely while delivering stable and reliable monitoring to their end customers, without the overhead of maintenance or installation.

3xLOGIC, Inc., in cooperation with Bates Security, Sonitrol of Lexington, and Sonitrol corporate, have completed a video surveillance and audio detection security upgrade project for “The Nest,” known formally as the Center for Women, Children, and Families.

To tweak a line from a famous Frank Sinatra song: 2017, it was a very good year. It was a very good year for connected homes, that is. Massive amounts of advertising from big players inside and outside the security space, a rapidly advancing technology landscape, and an avid interest from homeowners at all economic levels led to a connected home space that is growing by leaps and bounds.
